Applying for Housing

The Spring 2026 Application* will open to a queue on October 7th at 10:00 A.M. 

Students can join the queue via the Housing Portal. Assignments will be made on a rolling basis through early December. Those on the queue will be able to rank preferences for buildings however nothing is guaranteed as assignments can only be made based on open spaces. Room preferences, age, lifestyle matching questionnaires referenced as much as possible when making assignments. Stay up to date by referencing your UNCW email for communications from housing. 

*If you have a Housing Assignment from Fall 2025, you do not need to apply for the Spring 2026 application. 

Apply for Spring Housing

Housing accommodations for students with documented disabilities are determined based on the need for equal opportunity, and not based on a perceived “benefit” to the student. Please note: disability status does not impact one’s position in the queue (i.e., waitlist); however, should a housing assignment be granted, appropriate accommodations will be addressed. Students currently waiting for on-campus assignments are encouraged to submit Accommodation Request forms while waiting, as this may help expedite necessary adjustments to the room or facility. These can be found on the Disability Resource Center page.

Students with disabilities living in UNCW residential buildings who need an accommodation in order to have equal access to the housing environment must make their requests known well in advance of their planned move-in date to ensure their needs can be appropriately met (see HRL’s Campus Living Handbook [PDF]). Requests for disability-related accommodations must be initiated with the Disability Resource Center and will require appropriate documentation.
